That kind of hostility and unprofessionalism is exactly what distinguishes Palin, both as a candidate and now a pundit. But Palin went on to claim she admired West for his wonkish chops.

“I love that he has that military experience. He is a public servant willing to serve for the right reasons. He understands the Constitution. He understands our national foreign policy issues that must be addressed. He has served. I really like him. There are so many, Sean, that are out there. And when I talk about going rogue, what I want to do is encourage the GOP nominee to not think that they have to go with somebody necessarily safe that conventional wisdom perhaps would lead somebody to believe that, if it’s somebody, quote-unquote, safe, that they’re not going to get beat up by the media, because no matter who it is.”

I’m sorry, but doesn’t this woman have a Down’s baby to be caring for? Most mothers of Down’s children struggle trying to care for their children and making a living, but Gov Quitter seems to be spending an inordinate amount of her time away from home and without that precious little bundle whom she didn’t mind exploiting at every turn in 2008. (Oh wait a minute. She’s now well able to afford a live-in nanny—or, at least, as live-in as she’s willing to let one be, given Todd’s little reputation for the wandering eye, and more—so she probably doesn’t have to worry about little Trig as much as she might have done if McCain hadn’t lost his mind and picked the brain-dead moose. All apologies to any other moose who may be offended at being compared to Palin.)
